ITU pioneers a modern, industry-focused educational model to deliver education globally. ITU's educational pedagogy cultivates innovative thinking, ethical leadership, and entrepreneurial spirit through practical, industry relevant curriculum that reflects Silicon Valley's culture. ITU closes the employment skills gap and empowers people to lead successful, enriching lives as meaningful contributors to the global community. The purpose of ITU is to foster excellence in education for students particularly interested in the high-tech entrepreneurial field. All our programs have an applied nature, with an emphasis on specialty areas tailored to the market needs of Silicon Valley companies. Students are actively encouraged to affiliate or intern with relevant local industry firms from the very beginning of their academic studies as an integral part of ITU’s academic pedagogy.

"It is important that you ask questions during your internship. People are not going to be annoyed because they expect that from you and it shows to the employer that you are engaged and you want to learn more."

"I chose ITU because it helped me in getting my second masters. I already have a masters in Interior Design and I wanted to do something different. My Masters in Business Administration has really helped me broaden my horizons."

"All that I have learned here about management I’ve been able to apply it, real time. This is what I find valuable. I want to learn something not just learn it and to forget it and not want to apply is again. Not just something theoretical, I want to learn something I can take and I can use it."

Most of the students here at ITU are working in high-tech companies in the heart of Silicon Valley, and I think that is really unique. Learning from all these different people from different backgrounds is extremely enriching for me....
